Although Locally focused in the Waitaki district advertisers
also have the opportunity to buy into the South Canterbury and Mid
Canterbury Herald to expand their advertising message.
Combining the three community papers allows the paper to reach into
every home in the central South Island, including towns, villages, and
rural areas. This makes it the largest circulating community newspaper,
effectively reaching 85% of people within it’s circulation area over a
week.
The weekly content includes local news, Welcome to the world, ‘What’s
on’ or ‘Community Notices’, Motoring, Job opportunities, Farming
(Central South Island Farmer), Weddings, Just started School, Puzzles,
and Tabloids.
Newspaper Display Advertising
Display advertising is located
throughout the publication and utilises size, colour, illustration and
typography to attract the reader's attention. Display advertising is
primarily found in the editorial sections but can also be placed within
classified sections if deemed appropriate and relevant.
You can
request a preferred position within the newspaper for a fee or choose
"run of paper" whereby the advertisement is placed in any position in
the paper at our discretion. Opting for run of paper generally results
in a reduced charge to an advertiser.

are advertising only pages across a number of different categories e.g
for sale, trade services or situations vacant.
